it is normal for the internal gate to fluctuate such a small amount like that

Reasons like Climate can dictate the level of boost occasionaly. I have seen when a 10psi actuator can peak to nearly 14-15lbs if its really cold. It depends...I wouldnt really worry about 1lb of boost.

definitely the internal wastegate, get an external, way more reliable.

also your guage could be off a little too
